And as far as the oil leaking, and Ian might correct me here

, don't get on old Trumpet if you don't want a little oil leaking. The tolerances on the cases and valve covers, (and every thing else, for that matter), are not like todays Japaneese exacting standards. I have and regularly ride old Trumpets, and a SMALL amount of oil leaking is acceptable. I had a friend, years ago, who vowed to stop all the little oil spots he encountered. He ground, planed, sanded, double gasketed and gooped the devil out of an old 650. I think he succeeded, for a while.
